There are identifiedthe object, subject and objectives of the study; the research tasks and methodology aredescribed. Provisions are given for protection, the characteristic of scientific novelty ofdissertational research is given, and its theoretical and practical significance is indicated.The first chapter "Theoretical and methodological bases of the research ofinterrelation of strategies of acculturation and social capital of South Korean migrantswith their adaptation in Russia" is devoted to a theoretical analysis of approaches to thestudy of migration processes, acculturation, psychological and socio-cultural adaptationof migrants.
The results of the main empirical research are presented on this topic.In the first paragraph "Migration and migrants as an object of study in the socialsciences," the migration process is considered as an interdisciplinary object of studyingthe social sciences. A historical excursion into the research of migration processes is12given, as well as the concepts of Ravenstein (1885), Lee (1966) and other authors(Bhugra, & Becker, 2005) are given. The main factors of migration are considered,distinctions are made between voluntary and forced migration.The paragraph "Migration as an object of social science research" examines theconcept of acculturation of migrants and the main psychological theories that describethis process. The definition of acculturation as a process by which an individual shouldenter a new culture and at the same time maintain the norms and settings of his ownculture is given (Berry, 2009).
One-dimensional models of acculturation are analyzed(including one dimension - "preservation of one's own culture") (Gordon, 1964) and twodimensional models (in which the second dimension appears - "adoption of a newculture") (Berry, 2009; Rudmin, 2009). It describes the role of acculturation stress in theprocess of acculturation.Berry’s model (2009) is examined in more detail, which offers the presence of fourstrategiesofacculturation-"Integration","Assimilation","Separation"and"Marginalization". The most adaptive strategy is "Integration"; it allows the migrants tointegrate successfully into a new society while retaining their own cultural identity.
Theleast successful strategy is "Marginalization".In paragraph "Studies of adaptation of migrants in cross-cultural psychology",there is examined in detail the psychological and sociocultural adaptation of migrants.Psychological adaptation is understood as psychological well-being and satisfaction withthe life of a migrant and socio-cultural - as a social inclusion in a new environment.Historical analysis of the development of scientific ideas on the adaptation of migrants inpsychological science is given.
The model of the cultural shock "ABC", which offersthree components - affect, behavior and cognition, describes affecting interculturaladaptation (Ward, Bochner, & Furnham, 2001).The criteria for the successful psychological adaptation of migrants are given anddescribed the factors influencing adaptation in detail. Separately, the personalcharacteristics of the migrant (his expectations and motivation), his personal traits andthe coping strategies he uses are considered separately as factors. In addition, the13influence of acculturation and social relations strategies on the success of adaptation isnoted.Next, different approaches to the definition and measurement of socio-culturaladaptation are considered.
Three groups of factors that influence the success ofsociocultural adaptation are analyzed in detail: individual, group and situational.Demographic characteristics, their skills, experience and expectations are considered asindividual factors. The category of social factors includes different characteristics of thehost and native culture, as well as the perceived distance between the two cultures.Moreover, finally, as the situational factors, the economic and political situation ishighlighted in the host country. In addition, a special factor in the successful sociocultural adaptation of migrants was highlighted - social support.The paragraph "Length of Stay and Adaptation of Migrants" show the examples ofempirical studies on the adaptation of migrants. According to a number of scientists (A.Gil, V.
Vega, K. Ward, A. Kennedy, etc.), the level of psychological and socioculturaladaptation during the period of stay in the new society in interaction with the hostpopulation and own migrants varies positively, and sometimes - worse.In the paragraph "Acculturation strategies for migrants", key empirical studies ofpredictors for the successful adaptation of migrants have been analyzed. Particularattention is paid to acculturation strategies as factors in the adaptation of migrants.Analysis of the studies showed that the "Integration" strategy is positively related to bothtypes of adaptation (Lepshokova, & Lebedeva, 2016).
The strategy of "Assimilation"positively influences sociocultural adaptation, but at the same time, it has a negativeconnection with psychological adaptation (Ward, & Kennedy, 1994). In addition,migrants who have chosen the "Separation" strategy will experience discomfort, both inthe psychological and in the sociocultural domains (Ward, Kennedy, 1994).In the second paragraph "The concept of social capital of migrants and its role inthe success of their adaptation", was made an overview of the main approaches anddefinitions of social capital.
The levels of analysis of social capital are described individual, group, social. In our thesis study, we consider social capital at the individuallevel of analysis.14The paragraph “Individual social capital” provides the basic concepts associatedwith the study of individual social capital. The concept of social capital Putnam (2000) isconsidered, the division of social capital into bridging and bonding proposed by Putnamis considered. Also in this paragraph describes the network of social relations (socialnetworks), which serve as a source of formation of individual social capital (Lin, 2002).In the paragraph "Bonding and bridging social capital at an individual level ofanalysis", theoretical approaches to studying the social capital of migrants are analyzed.The source of social capital for migrants can be members of both in-groups and outgroups.
The division of social capital into in-group and out-group is inherently close todividing social capital into bridging and bonding, therefore, within the framework of thisdissertation, we will use precisely these terms following Putnam. Bonding social capitalcharacterizes cohesion and mutual assistance within groups of relatives, acquaintancesand, accordingly, representatives of ethnic outgroups, if we are talking about migrants.Bridging social capital characterizes social relations between representatives of differentgroups. Also, when talking about bridging social capital, often refer to the links betweenethnic groups or between representatives of different ethnic groups in an ethnicallyheterogeneous environment. Although Putnam's approach is more relevant to the grouplevel of social capital, the division of social capital into bridging and bonding can well beused when considering social capital at an individual level.
With reference to migrants,we might use the term "bonding social capital" when talking about social capital, thesource of which are representatives of their own ethnic group. When it comes to socialcapital, the source of which for a migrant is from ethnic out-groups, we can talk aboutbridging the social capital of a migrant. Furthermore, the thesis provides the rationale forthe fact that for the well-being of migrants, greater importance will not only be "bonding",but also "bridging" social capital, as it helps them to establish links with the new societyand culture.Next, we look at the results of empirical studies aimed at studying the social capitalof migrants.
